Maangchi I love watching your videos..whenever I am hungry I watch your videos and it’s like I am eating and I feel my stomach is full…. One question I have I don’t find rice syrup or corn syrup in my area ..is there any alternative for this ? I am not great fan of honey so is there any other way we can make sauce ?
Hi maangchi this is one of the many recipes of yours I tried and as always it turned out oh-so-amazinggg.
Thank you so very much for your recipes.I have started feeling like a pro (not really lol) in Korean cooking.

Thank you, Maangchi! I cooked these tonight as a practice run for a party I’m going to this weekend, just to make sure they’ll come out good. I’m going to a party for my Taekwon-do school so I wanted to make something Korean, since it’s a Korean art! I brought the cookies for my friends at Taekwon-do and they loved them, so I know everyone at the party will love them too :D my peanuts didn’t stick very well but I think I know how to fix it for next time!

Thank you for sharing your story with us! Your homemade matdongsan looks terrific! Congratulations!
I made this twice… The 1st one turning great… The 2nd time, it was so hard after mix with the syrup and couldnt munch… Can I preheat to make it crunchy and softer?
Maangchi!!
So far I have made your iced coffee recipe and this 맛동산! It was really fun to make this recipe! I’m only 18, and I’m Mexican, I’m trying to learn how to cook another culture’s food and you’re definitely worth watching, I’ve learned some really cool techniques on Korean cooking with your channel! Can’t wait to make more dishes and desserts! ^^

Hi Maangchi!
Thank you for sharing your recipes and techniques with us.
I need your assistance: I have made the matdongsun twice and they turn out golden, delicious and fluffy. I cannot get them crunchy. I fried then baked them and followed the recipe to the letter and while they are VERY delicious and my friends eat them within 10 minutes, they are not crunchy. Can you help me with this? I’m stumped.
Thank you,
-Ryan
